The couple danced the night away, with their first dance song being “can’t help falling in love,” which is always a good choice in my book. The night came to a close with a sparkler exit that sent the couple off as newlyweds, and the

This was a beautiful day of celebration, and I am so lucky to have friends like these two and to be able to capture such a special moment for them. Love you, Luciee and Jakey!!
